Devices are pinging but showing down

Post by Nashua77 »

I have Cacti version 1.2.24 installed on Linux and out of about 100 devices a dozen or so are showing "unknown" even though cacti can ping them and we are using ping for down device detection. How do I resolve this issue?

Did you not get the correct answer from your other post?
True understanding begins only when we realize how little we truly understand...

Life is an adventure, let yours begin with Cacti!

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?

Check your poller, if its cmd.php, try to install spine.

Also do this
Do this in root, use sudo:
chmod +s /usr/local/spine/bin/spine
